The new addition would also tie into the existing second level deck (see site <br />photo) located along the north side of the home. <br /> <br />4.3 The proposed addition at 14 feet by 14 feet would lie 21 feet from the rear property line on the <br />south and 25 feet from the rear property line on the north, wlllch encroachment requires a 9 foot <br />vanance. <br /> <br />4.4 The Casper home was constructed in 1984 and is situated on a lot approximately 14,810 <br />square feet in size.
